The series will look at key aspects of the modernization of one of the nation's most valuable assets - the National Airspace System (NAS). The series includes a look at the economic importance of the aviation industry, funding options, solutions for weather delays, enhanced safety, technology to enhance communications, capacity, efficiency. Learn more about Raytheon.

For more than sixty years, Raytheon has been a leader in the continuous improvement of one of the nation's most important assets: the National Airspace System. The FAA and Raytheon are working together to replace current systems with new technology that will support greater capacity and enhanced capabilities - safely and cost-effectively. Benefits also include saving fuel, cutting down on noise and reducing carbon emissions. Modernization of air travel - it's happening today.

Raytheon is working with the FAA to help them guide and track
air traffic more precisely and efficiently. And the entire planet is benefitting. Because finding the most efficient way to a destination means lessening aviation's impact on the environment - saving fuel, reducing carbon emissions and cutting down on noise. Transformation of air travel - it's happening today.

Did you know that weather accounts for 70% of all air traffic delays in the U.S.? Delivering more information, more quickly, to air traffic controllers and pilots means significantly reducing the impact of weather on your travel. Raytheon engineers are leveraging more than sixty years of aviation experience to bring more precise weather forecasts into the air traffic management arena. That means safer travel and fewer delays in getting to your destination.
